Netscaler APIServer Health Monitoring

[ybxdde]

We have a Netscaler VIP set up that routes to 3 APIServers in production that our Java code uses when making the REST API calls. 

Right now what we're using isn't sufficient in knowing for sure the APIServers are healthy & taking requests.

Is there something Netscaler could be set up to test the "App Pool" in IIS?  Maybe something like a "version" URL that would just give us the version of the code. It tests the app-pool but nothing else?

Or is there anything else people commonly use for this?

Are you actually using the new REST API that was released with EP2 or is this something else like the Unity API that you can connect to?

we're on EP3 using the REST APIs

Hi @Diane Estes ,

The Document Management REST API has a healthcheck page.  

• https://server.domain.net/apiserver/onbase/core/healthcheck

You can access it and if you get an HTTP 200 response then you know it is up and running.  Keep in mind that there is no data returned, so if you browse to the page it will be blank.

Take care.
